Red sand dust

In the rippling blue waters of the South China Sea, a huge ship departing from Awaji Village was heading towards Naruto Village at a super fast speed.

If converted into the speed unit of the previous life, this ship was created by integrating the power of almost all the puppet masters under Daimaru. Its economic speed exceeds thirty-two knots and its maximum speed is nearly forty-five knots.

Even though this number is not very impressive, what many people don’t understand is that even in the 21st century, the speed of guided missile boats is generally only fifty knots; the speed of large destroyers is only close to thirty knots; and most frigates are not even fast. Twenty knots; the underwater speed of a conventional submarine is around fifteen to twenty knots; as for an aircraft carrier known as a maritime battle fortress, it is only thirty to thirty-five knots.

It is quite astonishing to be able to increase the speed of surface ships to more than thirty knots with almost no use of chakra as a conventional power source, using only the technological level of the ninja world and the superb puppet technology of Sunagakure Village. thing.

The ability to do this lies in the fact that this creation is a new type of surface ship that has never appeared in the ninja world before. It is a small waterplane surface ship that is incredibly difficult and expensive to build. Its shortcomings are that the draft is too deep and the speed is low. It is not very practical in state, but when sailing at high speed, its stability and seakeeping ability almost crush other traditional ships.

This is a specially designed wave-piercing catamaran with an extremely large deck area. It is different from those ground-effect ships fiddled with by traditional puppet masters. The positioning of the wave-piercing catamaran is to deploy air combat troops at both ends of the South China Sea. Mothership.

When necessary, it can also serve as a military transport ship, and it can usually be used as a luxury cruise ship to receive vacationing tourists.

As for civilian liners, some are not very cost-effective, and currently they can only provide VIP limited-time contracting services.

After several rounds of trial sailing without any problems, the first mission was to urgently transport a large number of ninjas to Naruto Village to strengthen the local security department and maintain law and order in the increasingly large settlements.

With the gradual opening of the Naruto Canal, operational pressure has increased and profits have increased.

The long-term chuunin Leman, who started counting money and woke up laughing when he went to bed, now looks at his income every day, and his hands tremble with fear, fearing that his wealth will be revealed and attract some vicious traitorous ninja general Naruto. The village was looted.

It would be much faster to get money by robbing Naruto Village than working hard and risking your life to hunt down some S-class traitorous ninja.

The reality is that the management of superiors will always lag behind the development. Even Daimaru did not expect that Naruto Village would develop at such a rapid pace that many essential departments could not keep up.

The strategic location and the unavoidable transportation hub were combined into one, and the pulling effect produced shocked even Daimaru who had expected it.

It turns out that it is not that the business atmosphere in the ninja world is not strong enough, but that the existence of ninjas has suppressed the demand for many infrastructure constructions. If there are really five major ninja villages that can dredge key trade routes, business travelers with a keen sense of smell will naturally be attracted by the endless business opportunities. Attracted.

Naruto Village is a typical example, but it is not the first. The earlier Awaji Village and the Country of Waves controlled by Konoha Village are its predecessors.

Nearly a hundred chunin and senior genin were sent across the sea in one go. Air transport was a bit fussy, and walking across the sea was a bit slow. With the level of those young Suna ninjas, it was doubtful whether they could sustain walking on water for nearly two or three days.

The recently launched wave-piercing catamaran comes in handy, and Daimaru can also experience the leisurely days of a sea cruise.

On the open-air deck on the top floor, Daimaru was wearing black and white beach shorts, a short-sleeved sweat-absorbent cotton T-shirt, and sunglasses that covered most of his face. He was leaning on a leisure chair, basking in the sun, blowing the sea breeze, and listening to the warships. The chirping of birds and the leisurely drinking of iced juice.

"If only I had the conditions to enjoy it when I first traveled through time, my grandson would become a ninja. It would not only be hard work, but also dangerous!"

It’s not like he’s gifted with extraordinary talents, he doesn’t have the bloodline limit, and he doesn’t have any adventures. As an ordinary ninja, how can he be free as a playboy?

Although his "money ability" is not as good as superpowers, he is still considered a high-level person in the ninja world. His qualifications are too poor and forcing him to follow the path of ninja is not necessarily a good thing.

Just like Kurama Yakumo, the daughter of a wealthy family, if it had not been saved by the "Destiny Child", he might have been a cynical, resentful and sick man at home for the rest of his life.

Just when Daimaru was sighing at the unpredictable fate, Temari fell from the sky and landed on the deck. He casually wiped the sweat from his forehead, tied up his messy blond hair with a hairband, picked up the drink that had been prepared on the small coffee table, He took a long, comfortable sip.

"It's obviously a rare leisure time, wouldn't it be better to be calm? You should also practice at this time!"

Daimaru couldn't help complaining as he saw the plain white slim-fitting robe soaked with sweat and stained with discomfort on his skin.

At this time, shouldn't it be luxury yachts, the sea, fireworks shows, parties, surrounded by beauties in swimsuits, and all kinds of decadent life that everyone loves to see and hear about? Why is it different from what you imagined?

"Didn't you say that you should seize the time to practice and solidify the understanding of the use of Wind Escape Chakra into your body, so as not to forget it later."

"Then there's no rush now!"

Daimaru said,

"Even if you forget, just do it again. I didn't say I wanted to charge you for it!"

"Time is more important than money. Didn't you say that the Fourth Ninja War is inevitable, and it won't be too late? It will be safer to become stronger one day earlier..."

"Okay! It's my tireless warnings that make you nervous, right?"

Daimaru patted his forehead,

"The most annoying thing in a group is the meddlesome person who keeps telling bad news and makes other people nervous!"

"You go out of your way to entertain others, and you don't hesitate to make fun of yourself! If you had said less, maybe the reputation would be much better!"

"If you don't let me say it, then what do I need this mouth for?"

The crew and ninjas were all active on the lower level, and almost no one came to disturb the two of them. Daimaru curled his lips, and pretended that Temari's teasing did not exist, and said calmly,

"By the way, I would like to remind you that the skill of flying with wind escape like you is tailor-made for me, but you are different. You don't have as much chakra as me, and you are not as good at controlling air as I am. How to use the updraft to climb with less effort? When to switch the aspect ratio of the wings, adjust the inclination angle, how to eliminate the wingtip vortices during dive, reduce the vibration noise, and enhance control, almost none of them are used well. Without several years of basic theoretical study, it is difficult to imitate!"

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier and just watch me wasting my efforts?"

"It's not in vain. After realizing that the difference between your and me's sports style is so huge, I can convince you to figure out your own way of flying..."

Being able to fly, or even fight in the air, is a big issue. Use Wind Release to create chakra wings, and you can fly freely. So why do you need Daimaru?

Konohagakure has been researching wing armor, operating techniques and basic theories for more than a year, but there are still no valuable results. Without a technical moat, how can Daimaru casually sell such a killer weapon?

Pointing to the three-star fan beside Temari, Daimaru said bluntly:

"You can use the three-star fan to fly and glide for short distances, integrate my air control skills into it, and go your own way. Don't be misled by me. The inheritance of that secret technique is not always a good thing..."
